Reviewing SENS Antiaging Work

Before the Foundation was launched in March 2009, the SENS research program was mainly pursued by the Methuselah Foundation, co-founded by Aubrey de Grey and David Gobel.The SRF pursues research strands which correspond to seven categories of cellular damage which accumulate with age: accumulated side effects of metabolism which are eventually fatal.Seven types of aging damage and SENS research areas: $2.1 million per year goes to antiaging research.The Methuselah Mouse Prize (Mprize) was created to increase scientific and public interest in longevity research by awarding two cash prizes: “one to the research team that broke the world record for the oldest-ever mouse; and one to the team that developed the most successful late-onset rejuvenation strategy.” The Mprize was announced publicly in 2003 by David Gobel and Aubrey de Grey at the American Aging Association. The prize for longevity was first won by a research team led by Andrzej Bartke of Southern Illinois University.The Methuselah Foundation incubates and sponsor mission-relevant ventures, fund research, and support projects and prizes to accelerate breakthroughs in longevity.The Methuselah Foundation slogan is Making 90 the new 50 by 2030.Aubrey believes we have a 50-50 chance of reaching robust human rejuvation within 15 years of successful robust mouse rejuvenation.
